Product FAQs

6 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the TEL136020WL circuit breaker?

This E-frame breaker is designed for use in GE A-Series panelboards, as well as compatible GE enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers.

Why might my TEL136020WL breaker arrive with ABB branding instead of General Electric?

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. As a result, legacy GE circuit breakers like the TEL136020WL may feature either ABB or GE branding depending on the manufacturing date, but they are the exact same product and fully interchangeable.

Does the TEL136020WL include mounting lugs?

Yes, the WL suffix in the catalog number indicates that this breaker comes factory-equipped with line and load side lugs for unit-mount installation.

How does the current-limiting feature of the TEL136020WL work?

As a current-limiting breaker, it minimizes fault damage by rapidly clearing short circuits before they reach peak energy levels, reducing thermal and mechanical stress on the electrical system.

What do the LI trip functions on the TEL136020WL indicate?

The LI designation means the thermal-magnetic trip unit includes Long-Time (L) protection for sustained overloads and Instantaneous (I) protection for immediate short-circuit clearing.

What is the modern replacement for the legacy TEL136020WL circuit breaker?

For facility upgrades, the legacy GE TEL series is officially replaced by the ABB Tmax XT2N series of molded case circuit breakers.
